Measurements of Soot Production and Thermal Radiation from confined Turbulent Jet Diffusion flames of Methane

摘要

Turbulent methane/air jet diffusion flames at atmospheric and elevated pressure have been studied experi- mentally to provide data for coupled thermal radiation and soot production model development and validation. Although methane is only lightly smooting at atmospheric pressure, at elevated pressure the soot yield increases Greatly. This allows the creation of a highly radiating flame, of moderate optical depth, within a laboratory scale Rig.
